* [[doc:​howto:​wireless.hotspot.nodogsplash]] Another alternative from NoCat which aims to offer captive portal solutions local to the router/​gateway and a simplistic setup, user bandwidth control and basic auth/splash page. Nodogsplash is small, well tested, tailored for OpenWrt by its author and can be set up with only one or two config file changes, in contrast Chilli is more complete but complex to set up.

* [[doc:​howto:​wireless.hotspot.wifidog]] Originally forked from NoCatSplash and NoCatAuth,​ran at layer3 using iptables as opposed to chillispots layer2 solutions. Wifidog offers a simple package and none uci based configuration file. Users can be managed and controlled through the gateway and hooked into any custom user management. This solution creates a custom central user management system. You can build your own login page and user management system or use their own portal system.

| nocatsplash ​ | 0.93pre2-2 ​ | glib1, iptables-mod-ipopt,​ iptables-mod-nat-extra ​ | 27808 | NoCatSplash is an Open Public Network Gateway Daemon. It performs as a [captive/​open/​active] portal. When run on a gateway/​router on a network, all web requests are redirected until the client either logs in or clicks "I Accept"​ to an AUP. The gateway daemon then changes the firewall rules on the gateway to pass traffic for that client (based on IP address and MAC address). ​ |
